The world is dead.
And Mia must escape it. She must escape her mother, a withered shell of what she used to be. She must escape her sister, born into this wasteland, hiding a secret behind blindfolded eyes. But the poisonous air keeps Mia trapped in the darkness of an abandoned bunker.
Then the rain comes, cleansing the air, giving Mia a spark of hope and the courage to search the landscape for her mother who went scavenging the surface for supplies. Trudging through mud, corpses, and the skeletons of civilization, Mia finds her, but she also finds someone else. Someone who will lead them to a fate they have been running away from since the day the world died.
In the tradition of bleak dystopian fiction like Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, A Song for the End of the World ushers a crumbling family through a wasteland rife with loss, regret, and redemption.
